The Fidget Cube Is A Fun Way To Keep Your Hands Busy

Sitting at a desk for hours at a time can lead to fidgeting, and some people swear they think more clearly when their hands are kept busy.

Until recently that meant fidgeting with office supplies and stress balls, or some expensive piece of desk jewelry that looks really cool but doesn't satisfy that fidgety feeling.

But now there's the Fidget Cube by Antsy Labs- a fun little vinyl desk toy featuring an assortment of ways to stay fidgety on its six faces.

The Fidget Cube looks like hours of fun for your fingers, and the creators stand by its power to clear the mind and promote creativity, so it's not just a toy- it's an investment in your desk-bound career.

Alternative Practitioners - Wonder Who Else Is Out There?


Alternative Practitioners by Chay Hawes

Even though we only get to see the adventures of that one famous Time Lord we all affectionately refer to as The Doctor there are many other doctorly types out there too. Each one pilots his or her own Tardis, just for the sake of continuity, mind you, and each one of their blue police boxes were custom made to fit that particular Time Lord's personality. So if you come across Doctor Boo's spooky box don't be scared, but don't fall in Doctor Loo's box or you'll have some showering to do, and if you see Doctor Flu's box and you haven't had your shot then head for the hills!

Exterminate sadness with this Alternative Practitioners t-shirt by Chay Hawes, it's just the thing to put a smile on the face of your fellow Whovians!

Crazy Cool Contortionist Dance Video

Contortionists are fun yet painful to watch, and the better the contortionist the more we're left wondering how the hell they can twist their own body that way without breaking it.

But few contortionists can incorporate dance into their body bending routines like Shakirudeen Adewale Alade, aka Bonetics, and his hybrid body rock is electrifying to watch.

Unsurprisingly Bonetics was a big hit at the Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain- Paris, where many young circus performers make a name for themselves, because who wouldn't want to watch him do his stuff?!

If Other Video Games Had An App Like Pokémon GO

Pokémon GO has been slowly but surely turning smartphone gamers into zombified "trainers", who wander around the world with their eyes glued to the GO screen searching for Pokémon hot spots.

Thankfully, Pokémon GO is a pretty harmless game, but imagine if games like The Legend Of Zelda, Mario Party, Super Smash Bros and Fallout had similar apps. The world would be doomed!

If Pokémon GO players aren't careful they're liable to find themselves joining roving gamer gangs, teaming up to hunt down and catch all the Pokémon no matter where they hide.

Of course, trainers turning against each other in the quest to catch 'em all seems like a more realistic scenario...

Comic artist extraordinaire JHALL has illustrated six alternate GO app scenarios to satisfy our curiosity, demonstrating how good Pokémon GO actually is and how bad other GO style apps could be!

Kids Taste Test 100 Years Of Brown Bag Lunches

Kids have been bringing brown bag lunches to school for at least the last hundred years, and even though the overall contents have stayed the same the individual parts have changed dramatically.

A brown bag lunch typically includes a drink, a piece of fruit, a sandwich and a sweet snack, contents which have been a constant since the early 1900s.

However, the kids of today would throw a fit if they found a jar of warm milk and a radish sandwich in their bag, which was a fairly standard lunch for kids in the early 1900s.

(YouTube Link)

Bon Appétit subjected a bunch of youngsters to the brown bag lunches of yesteryear, starting with that nasty radish sandwich and ending with the pre-packaged Lunchables craze of the 90s.

The Time Alice Cooper Appeared On Gene Wilder's Sitcom

Alice Cooper and Gene Wilder don't seem like they have much in common aside from the fact that they both became superstars in the 70s.

But back in the mid-90s this unlikely duo appeared together in Wilder's sitcom Something Wilder, with Cooper playing himself and moving in next door to Wilder's character Gene Bergman.

(YouTube Link)

Episode 14 entitled “Hangin' With Mr. Cooper”, was the second to last episode of Something Wilder to air on NBC, at a point when the producers were trying to save the show by introducing zanier storylines.

(YouTube Link)

I can't help but wonder if the show would have been cancelled so quickly if they'd cast Alice as the neighbor from the beginning, because Wilder and Cooper have surprisingly good comedic chemistry.

Why Do People Knock On Wood For Luck?

Knocking on wood is one of those superstitious practices that can quickly become a compulsion, as we constantly find situations arise where we could use a bit of luck.

The origin of this superstition isn't clear- some believe pagans knocked on tree trunks to call upon the spirits that inhabited the trees for protection, others link the wood element to Christ's cross.

But British folklorist Steve Roud believes knocking on wood, or “touch wood” as it's known in the UK, can be traced back to a 19th century kid's game called “Tiggy Touchwood”.

(Image Link)

Tiggy Touchwood was similar to tag, but players who touched wood were protected from being tagged, and Steve discusses the connection in his book "The Lore of the Playground":

“Given that the game was concerned with ‘protection,’ and was well known to adults as well as children, it is almost certainly the origin of our modern superstitious practice of saying, ‘Touch wood,’” he argues. “The claim that the latter goes back to when we believed in tree spirits is complete nonsense.”

No matter the origin one thing's for sure- if you start knocking on wood every time you need a bit of luck it can be mighty hard to stop!

Amazing Hyperlapse Video Showcasing Art Installations At Burning Man 2016

The Burning Man scene may have gone from edgy and artsy outsiders to rich kids and celebs, but one thing is just as good as it ever was- the art installations.

All the art installations peppered throughout the Burning Man grounds are seriously stunning, and whether attendees are there to see the art or not these incredible installations tend to steal the show.

(YouTube Link)

San Francisco-based filmmaker Mark Day attended Burning Man 2016 camera in hand, ready to capture all the amazing art pieces that make Burning Man such an unique outdoor event.

Mark put together a hyperlapse video of the footage so we don't miss out on any of the pieces, and he created this really cool 360 view video of the Playa. It's almost like being there, except without all the dirt in your crack!

Why Are So Many People Watching Jackson Hole Wyoming's Live Video Stream?

Jackson Hole, Wyoming isn't exactly a bustling metropolis full of excitement and activity, and yet the live video streams of their town have been getting hundreds, if not thousands, of hits a day for the last few months.

And one particular camera view has topped them all- the view of the Jackson Hole town square.

(YouTube Link)

Thousands of people have been tuning in to and commenting like crazy about red trucks rolling through the intersection, and they've been going nuts every time someone is seen walking through the archway in the back.

But the question that still remains is why- why are people tuning in to See Jackson Hole's live stream more than any other in the country, and what is their obsession with red trucks and the archway?

(Image Link)

The viewing craze apparently started when the Jackson Hole live feed kept coming up as a suggested video on YouTube, and from there the craze has taken on an eerie life of its own.

Of course, by the time you read this article the craze will probably be coming to a close and a new random bit of internet will "go viral", leaving us with one conclusion- the internet community has way too much time on their hands.

Terry Crews Tricks People Into Eating Crickets

Crickets are a great source of protein, they can be prepared in many different ways and, unlike our other sources of protein, they're a renewable resource.

But people still haven't come around to replacing their normal sources of protein with bugs so, as Terry Crews discovered, the only way to get people to gobble up a bunch of crickets is to trick them.

However, Terry is so fit he had no problem convincing some of the BuzzFeed staff to try out his new "protein shake", which tasted like a malted chocolate milkshake instead of a glass full of ground up crickets. (Barely NSFW due to language)

(YouTube Link)

Chocolate covered crickets are pretty tasty, as long as you don't mind getting a few legs stuck in your teeth.

Courage The Cowardly Dog Encounters Pokémon

Courage the cowardly dog faced many strange creatures and beings during his four seasons on the air, but if he had encountered any Pokémon he probably would have quit the show.

That's because the series never seems to run out of strange animal and insect type Pokémon, and on top of the hundreds of different species there are hundreds more evolved species which are even scarier.

And unlike an episode of his pal Scooby Doo's show you can't pull a rubber mask off a Pokémon and discover it's actually Old Man Jenkins in disguise.

According to this adorable mashup series by @diasapacibles Courage could become friends with less evolved Pokémon species because they're less aggressive, but he should still be wary of sneaky pranksters like Jigglypuff.

Pac-Man And The Ms. Have Intimacy Issues

Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man were made for each other, with the same pie chart-shaped heads, matching appetites and a nasty power pellet habit they can't seem to shake.

But, as this comic from Blow The Cartridge Comics shows, when it comes to intimacy Pac and the Ms. can't seem to figure out how to get to the next level.

What Was the Most Popular Food the Year You Were Born

Food trends come and go, and while we can't stop hearing about kale and Greek yogurt these days, people in the seventies loved quiche and fondue. Now, thanks to Cosmopolitan, you can find out what the most popular food was the year you were born (assuming you were born after 1970 -but hey, you can look up your kid's birth years otherwise). I was born in the year of pasta alla vodka but there are certainly some years I relate with a lot better. How about you?

This Spoiled Little Chihuahua Has His Own Room Under The Stairs

If you think your pet is spoiled ask yourself this- does your furry family member have their own custom built, and fully furnished, room under the stairs?

If the answer is yes then you should contact Poncho the chihuahua's humans and arrange a meetup, because you're two of a kind!

Poncho became internet famous when his human's nephew Fatisbac posted pics of the pampered pooch's sweet sub-staircase doggy digs on Imgur, following it up with this video a few days later.

(YouTube Link)

I don't think the expression "it's a dog's life" applies to this particular pooch...
